Costco: We recognise the shareholders have made a proposal. But given that it's a stupid-ass proposal, we've voted to reject it.

I was in Phoenix for the whole "Phoenix Lights" thing.
What is the most unexplainable/supernatural thing you've personally experienced?

Tips for people new to Bluesky:
-the mannequin sitting in the rafters doesn't like being told to get down
-stealing from the cookie jars is encouraged
-don't say skeet ten times in a row or you'll summon 1000 dancing skeletons, which seems nice, but they're just too many to deal with

Hi! Other than #Booksky, what are some book-related channels I should check out on here as a writer and reader?

If your feminism doesn't include trans rights, it's garbage. Throw it in the 🗑. If the most vulnerable among us are not safe, we are not safe.

Without downloading any new pics where are you mentally?

I try to live every day with the determination I had in active addiction esp the time I ran across 4 lanes of traffic, didn't see a median barrier in the dark, flipped over it, tore my pants, mangled my leg, and still made it to the other side to spend my last 4$ on a 4loko before last call.

Where are my #plantpeople at? Can someone help me ID this mystery node? I know it's probably too early to tell-- I got as far as probably some kind of #philodendron lol

remember twitter rabbit holes?
I feel like bluesky rabbit holes are gonna be long, wholesome threads full of positive affirmations and ending with the big twist: you are valid, you are loved, you are safe here.
Awe.
You guyyyyys.
You know what though I wouldn't mind a ghost story or two.

I know we've all become at least a little jaded and very pragmatic realists over the last several years but I still like to & want to believe there is ✨️magic✨️ in the act of writing. There's days that's what I'm holding onto.

Rediscovering things with your significant other is the most fun to be had. Twd. Dr Who. You've both seen it a thousand times? Doesn't matter. Experiencing it together is the tits. The other day, we watched The Secret of NIMH. We're in our 40s.

The resistance goes to city council meetings & school board meetings & writes their congressperson bc that's what the fascists have been busy doing, I promise.

Describe yourself using 5 things that are probably in your purse/backpack at any given moment:

Vape (not the fun kind)
Meds (not the fun kind)
Pen
Earbuds
Right now for some reason: a bunch of crock charms
Describe yourself using 5 things that are probably in your purse/backpack at any given moment:

Knife
Keys
Hand lotion (ashy hands are torture to me)
Something minty (gum, candy etc.)
Phone charger

I don’t know any of this says about me as a person
Describe yourself using 5 things that are probably in your purse/backpack at any given moment:

- 3-5 pens at least one of which is fountain
- earrings, multiple sets
- a passport

The internet is officially old enough to be a fall risk (& so am I).
My annual 'winter is coming' suggestion:

Learn how to fall. Go to a gymnastics or martial arts school and learn to bring your arms in and fall on your back. A lot of falling injuries are from sticking your arm out to catch yourself, and injuring that arm.

Learn how to fall safely. Really.

Remember when we all came together to hate Shane? A simpler time. An innocent time.

"In Needful Things I got to talk about greed in the 80s. And how funny greed really is, when you get right down to it. And how hilarious was to be an American during the 8 years of the Reagan administration. On one level it really was a scream to be there."
